Hmmm… A US man m*rdering his whole family over failure… yes… a tale as old as USA time… nothing has changed.
Tragic 😥
Yea fuck this guy, make a short about the tragedy of mary-todd Lincoln. Former first lady treated with 'hysteria' in an asylum from seeing her own husband murdered. And that guy gets a little ptsd from his failure and he gets to keep hus job until his kids are gone.
John Wilks-Booth absolutely would be in the Donald Trump cult
Booth would serve in Trump's cabinet today if he were alive
No offense to Lincoln or Rathbone, I think we can see there were more than 2 people affected by that at this point in history lol
Sheesh…I didn't know this. The poor guy must've really suffered an amount of PTSD- (but I won't forgive me for k!lling his wife though-)
Say,Mr Beat. Can I ask,do you know that LBJ went to Malaysia and had an entire village named after him? It was called "Kampung LBJ" btw. I just recently found out about it-
It’s crazy how men have been historically family annihilators
Man… there are no winners in this story.
The usual suspect
imagine stabbing yourself six times
after the first time id be like OWWW
I was half asleep during the intro, I thought he said "batman" and I was so confused.
Huh, interesting.
Wonder why you mention this now.
Boston Corbett anyone 🤷🏿♂️🧐🫠
Dang, Mr. Beat, you're looking swole!
John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln, and the other guy is still responsible for what he did, even if it would've been hard for him to do otherwise.
He stabbed himself 5 times in the chest? Talk about being determined.
More than 2. That guys kids were prob so messed up after witnessing all that. What if they got married as well
December 23rd is my birthday bro 🥀
why the hell did that first painting have booth's arms so tiny?
So , you tell this violent tale …then bleep out whatever the f you bleeped out "suicide" … to protect who from what ???
He's innocent because his star sign wouldn't allow him to do something so horrible.
I found your channel by misspelling Mr. Beast🥀
the pride of Albany NY, well besides William Devane and John McTiernan
Too many stories about people killing their families, with the LC trial going on and everything.
I read the first few words and knew you were about to talk about Rathbone. I used to be obsessed with the book,” Chasing Lincoln’s Killer,” and it’s been downhill ever since 😂
Should’ve hung for such an act. No matter how long you have severed or how faithfully you did so, once you’ve killed your own there is no going back
What happened to the children? That's incredibly traumatic, probably even more than seeing Lincoln get shot
But wait I thought that Lincoln and Mary Todd were sitting next to President Grant and his wife?
I mean, if your one job that day was to protect the most important man in the country who got shot from behind in a room with one entrance and all you had to do was be looking behind him to do it, yeah I'd probably be pretty upset at myself too lol
She stuck by him thru all that ptsd and he killed her😢
Mediocre men love attacking women and children.
Yeah that was the reason
"His mind continued to unravel"
Tokyo Ghoul OP 1 intensifies
Never heard this story before! You learn something new every day.
Three, if you count Edwin Booth's career.
An assassin created this monster?
What happened to their kids after that? I can’t imagine the trauma.
I can’t believe you had to bleep suicide
I dislike the idea of attributing this solely to Booth, Rathbone's actions were his own and it sounds like he had problems in his mind beyond PTSD.
😢
It's nice that he had guilt but damn does it suck that it has to be THAT much guilt
What a loser!
